Make Your Own Electricity For Free?

Make Your Own Electricity For Free? ENERGY Miscellaneous 27-3-35 A couple of Australian inventors are creating an international sensation with a revolutionary new electrical generating unit that they say produces more power than it consumes, something physicists say is not possible but which tests appear to confirm. Called the Lutec 1000, this is not a Rube Goldberg contraption. Inventors Lou Brits, an electrician, and John Christie, a mechanical engineer, came up with the concept more than six years ago. Based on a combination of electromagnets and permanent magnets, their fifth and latest version of the motor/generator operates continuously, producing about 1,000 watts per hour more than it uses, or 24 kW per day. The power of the permanent magnets and the copper windings are the keys to its efficiency, they say. The coil magnets use a mild laminated cool core wound with copper in such a way that they become temporary magnets with a like polarity to the permanent magnets at a crucial moment, so allowing the permanent magnet to be repulsed. Therefore they have a natural magnetic attraction and a natural magnetic repulsion. The stator is made of anon-magnetic material. They use 24 permanent magnets and 12 coil magnets. This arrangement allows the magnets to be repelled by the natural magnetic repulsion to generate power. The magnets create a ping pong effect that allows less energy to be used in producing power. The coil magnets that are pulsed for just a micro second do not allow repulsion with the permanent magnets. The electricity is produced by induction. There's no heat, harmful emissions or airborne matter involved in the transmission of electricity from the generation system. The magnets have a life of 1,300 years and the small battery pack has a life of about five years. The Lutec 1000 runs cool, creates no exhaust or other pollution, and the permanent magnets have a life expectancy of more than 1,000 years. Brits and Christie use it to charge a battery pack. DC current from the batteries is converted to AC current with an inverter, so no changes are required to current wiring. The pair were recently granted patents in the U.S. Their patent is also recognized in most of Asia and Aftrica. They are now negotiating with a U.S. company to produce and market their machine. Christie reports that if all goes according to plan, the Lutec 1000 should be available in North America within the next year or so. Brits and Christie, who hail from small towns near Cairns (along Australia's northeast coastal area) figure their generating unit will sell for under $5,000, making it affordable to most homeowners. Because it will produce more power than most domestic electricity users can consume, they figure Lutec 1000 owners will be able to help pay for their machines by selling electricity back to the power grid.
